Being - produced by genes
being - their collection
their life, their copies

Experience, the storm and the drums
of the outside world, the neighbours
with whom I am me, not alone

Receive, pleasure and pain
seed in my celestial flower
and wealth in my hair

Give, the play
of gongs in the wind
thoughts, who we are

and when it's my birthday
time stands still a little
in the years that fly by
